Multi-regrowth steps for the realization of buried single ridge and μ-stripes quantum cascade lasers

Abstract

We report on the realization of buried single ridge and μ-stripes quantum cascade lasers using HVPE and MOVPE regrowth steps of semi-insulating InP:Fe and Si doped layers. We present here the preliminary results obtained on these devices. The reduction of the thermal resistance achieved using semiinsulating InP:Fe for regrowth planarization and μ-stripe arrays approaches are shown and performance perspectives are addressed.
